A FISTFUL OF HEALTH – EGGS

A complete meal by itself, an energy booster, hunger suppressant, protein rich, vitamin enriched…enclosed within your fist. Eggs, the easiest source of an all-round nutritious meal. It has the most active proteins, vitamins, minerals and omegas. It is filling and high on the satiety meter. That is, it keeps us filling satisfied for a longer period, lowering hunger pangs. It is touted to be the best food for weight loss programs without compromising on everyday nutrition.

It worked well for me, especially after a holiday or a festive break when you want balance out all the overloading that you have indulged in, simply have eggs for dinner thrice a week. It’s probably the easiest way to knock off those extra kilos without curbing your social outgoing. Eggs can be had anywhere, anytime. I simply switched 2 of my meals (breakfast and dinner) with 2 eggs thrice a week and I was back on track.

For those that feel that it better to have just egg whites since they are all protein, may I say that for a little extra cholesterol why would you want to reduce the amount of other nutrients going in. So unless you already are suffering from high Cholesterol please enjoy the egg as a whole.
